abstract = {The trade-off between high-performance data transmission and low-energy consumption is a long-existing issue in the field of wireless communications. Efficient data exchange is critical for battery-equipped mobile devices typically used in distributed surveillance scenarios, where it may be required to transmit video or audio streams between in-network nodes. In such cases, the devices carried by operators require to be as lightweight as possible. However, low-power and lossy networks do not provide sufficient bandwidth to meet the requirements of streaming transmissions, while high-performance communications result in high energy consumptions, shortening the lifetimes of the devices. In this paper, we propose a Data-driven IoT-oriented dual-Network Management Protocol (DNMP), oriented to Internet of Things (IoT), which leverages on the presence of two IP-addressable radio interfaces on the same node: one with low energy consumption (and through-put) and one with high throughput (and energy consumption). The low-power network acts both as an independent data plane and as a control plane for the high-throughput network, which is turned on whenever necessary to support multimedia streaming. In order to validate our protocol, we consider the integration of low-power IEEE 802.15.4 radio transceiver and high-throughput IEEE 802.11s radio transceivers. An extensive experimental investigation is then carried out, with the following goals: (i) investigating the performance of the two overlaid networks (IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE 802.11s); and ii) determining the critical threshold, in terms of amount of data to be transmitted, beyond which the use of DNMP becomes advantageous.},

abstract = {This paper focuses on phase noise-impaired communications. An efficient Maximum A-posteriori Probability (MAP) iterative synchronization algorithm, where detection and decoding are performed separately from phase estimation, is proposed. This approach has the following key advantages: (i) its computational complexity is relatively low and its performance is near optimal; (ii) it requires very limited statistical knowledge of the phase noise process; and (iii) it enables the direct use of “off-the-shelf” demodulation and decoding blocks. These features are particularly attractive from the implementation viewpoint, as they lead to the design of effective pragmatic high-order coded modulated schemes. The proposed iterative synchronization and decoding algorithm, evaluated for Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC)-coded pilot symbol-assisted Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) schemes, entails a negligible energy efficiency loss with respect to optimized joint decoding and phase estimation approaches, with significantly lower computational complexity.},

abstract = {In this paper, we present a wire-free, low-cost video processing-based technique for respiratory rate (RR) estimation. The proposed method blends together two recently presented techniques, with the purpose of emphasizing small movements, such as respiratory movements possibly present in a video stream, in order to detect them. Initially, the system performs a spatial decomposition of the video frames in a pyramidal representation, in which each layer contains different spatial details. The levels are then pixel-wise temporally filtered with an infinite impulse response (IIR) filter, purposely designed to extract components having a periodicity compatible with the respiratory rate. Afterwards a single motion signal is extracted from each level. Finally, the extracted signals are jointly analyzed according to the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion in order to estimate the respiratory rate. The parameters extracted by our algorithm show a good agreement with those indicated by a gold-standard polysomnographic system. Therefore, our results, although preliminary, are encouraging and show that the respiratory rate can be reliably measured and monitored by a low-cost, wire-free, video processing-based system.},

abstract = {We discuss a novel strategy to reset the weight vector of the Least Mean Square (LMS) adaptive algorithm when abrupt channel variations occur. Such variations may be caused by line impedance sudden changes, typically due to switching events, and may significantly impact the performance of the LMS algorithms used for adaptive echo cancellation and equalization. Specifically, they may trigger a convergence transient period, whose duration depends on the distance between the current weight vector and the final one. In previous work, a weight reset strategy based on sign inversion was demonstrated in the context of echo cancellation for a power line modem. In this paper, we extend this work by investigating weight reset strategies based on a group of reinitialization vectors, some of which will be likely close to the final LMS optimal weights. The results show that it may indeed be possible to promptly detect abrupt channel variations and properly reset the LMS weights in order to shorten the induced transient period.},

Over the years many efficient implementations of well-known block ciphers, as well as a large number of new “lightweight” block ciphers, have been introduced. We propose to distribute block ciphers encryption and decryption operations between a subset of “trusted” nodes. Any block cipher, lightweight or not, can benefit from it. In particular, we analyze the energy consumption of AES128 in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode and measure the energy savings that a distributed computation of AES128-CBC can give. We show that, by leveraging this distributed computation, a node can save up to 73% and up to 81% of the energy normally spent in encryption and decryption, respectively. This has relevant implications in Internet of Things scenarios.},

Gait features are compared with scores assigned by neurologists within the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), with the ultimate goal of automatically determining the UPDRS score of the Gait Task (GT) carried out by Parkinsonians.

abstract = {The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the interconnection of billions of IP-enabled devices, denoted as "smart objects", with limited capabilities, in terms of computational power and memory capacity, which typically operate in constrained environments, in an Internet-like structure. Large-scale systems and applications that rely on such a high number of devices, due to their complexity, need careful analysis and test, before being deployed to target environments. Traditional IoT simulators do not focus on the simulation of large scale deployments, as they are intended to evaluate and analyze low-level networking aspects, with groups of smart objects arranged in specific topologies. In this paper, we illustrate an efficient simulation methodology, which is particularly suitable to test IoT systems with a large number of interconnected devices in Urban environments from an application-layer perspective. The main advantages of such an approach are: i) the capability to simulate large-scale systems with thousands of geographically distributed devices; ii) the maximization of code reuse; and iii) the high generality of simulated nodes, which can be characterized by multiple network interfaces and protocols, as well as different mobility, network, and energy consumption models.},

abstract = {In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for monitoring applications, energy saving and fast data collection are two challenging tasks. Asynchronous radio duty cycling protocols can achieve very low energy consumption in low traffic conditions and they are fault-tolerant to clock drifts. However, they may exhibit a delay degradation due to the decoupled wake-up periods of the nodes. In this paper, we present RAWMAC, a cross-layer approach where RPL, a tree-based routing protocol, orchestrates the asynchronous duty-cycled ContikiMAC MAC layer. The wake-up instants of the nodes are dynamically aligned, with respect to the RPL topology, to minimize the delay for data collection. We implement RAWMAC for the Contiki operating system and we analyze the impact of several key system parameters. Results show that RAWMAC outperforms ContikiMAC in terms of delay for data collection, while keeping the same performance in terms of throughput and energy consumption.},

SOs are typically sensor/actuator-equipped devices with severe constraints on processing capabilities, available RAM/ROM, and energy consumption. In a context where billions of deployed SOs, it is important that the SOs are able to self-configure and adapt to the surrounding environment with minimal, if any, external human intervention. Among the service discovery mechanisms proposed in literature for deploying SOs without any prior knowledge, Zeroconf represents a good candidate to automate service and resource discovery in local constrained environments. In this paper, we propose a lightweight forwarding algorithm for efficient multicast support in Low-power and Lossy Networks (LLNs) targeting service discovery for duty-cycled SOs. Among the advantages achieved by the proposed solution, SOs might benefit from smaller memory footprint with respect to those required by other multicast implementations. The performance of the proposed forwarding algorithm is evaluated through Contiki-based nodes in the Cooja simulator.},

abstract = {The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to pervasively interconnect more than 50 billion devices, denoted as “smart objects”, by 2020 in an Internet-like structure, which will extend the current Internet, enabling new forms of interaction between physical objects and people. The IoT will be made up of heterogeneous devices, featuring extremely diverse capabilities, in terms of computational power, connectivity, availability, and mobility. In such a scenario, characterized by the heterogeneity and large number of involved devices, in order to effectively allow and foster the growth of new applications and services, it is necessary to provide appropriate standards that can guarantee full interoperability among existing hosts and IoT nodes. Standardization organizations, such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), and research projects are chartered to bring IP to smart objects and to define suitable application-layer and security protocols for IoT scenarios. In order to cope with the limitations of smart objects, the IETF CoRE Working Group has defined the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP), a standard application-layer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks. In this work, we present mjCoAP, an open source lightweight Java-based implementation of CoAP, which aims at simplifying the development of CoAP-based IoT applications. The mjCoAP library is fully RFC-compliant and integrates several IETF CoRE WG specifications, such as blockwise transfers, resource observing, and HTTP/CoAP mapping. We also present some application scenarios and we describe how they can be easily implemented based on mjCoAP.},

The Internet of Things (IoT) will involve billions of communicating heterogeneous devices, using different protocols in order to enable new forms of interaction between things and people. In this context, due to scalability, fault-tolerance, and self-configuration requirements, peer-to-peer(P2P) architectures are very appealing in many large-scale IoT scenarios. However, due to memory, processing, and power limitations of constrained devices, the use of specific signaling protocols for the maintenance of the P2P overlay is a critical point. In this paper we present a performance evaluation of a real DHT-based P2P overlay in order to understand the benefits in terms of bandwidth consumption and transmitted/received data when a constrained SIP-based protocol, denoted as CoSIP, is used as P2P signaling protocol.},

Since clonic seizures are characterized by periodic movements of parts of the body (e.g., hands, legs), by evaluating the periodicity of the extracted signals it is possible to detect the presence of a clonic seizure. The proposed approach allows to differentiate clonic seizure-related movements from random ones. While we first consider a single-camera scenario, we then extend our approach to encompass the use of multiple sensors, such as several cameras or the Microsoft Kinect RBG-Depth sensor. In these cases, data fusion principles are considered to aggregate signals from multiple sensors.},

abstract = {Recent years have seen the relentless market explosion of mobile devices, whose ever increasing capabilities (in terms of computational power, networking, and sensing) make them attractive to an endless number of connected applications and services (especially in business and infotainment domains) which can be fully experienced in mobility. This huge market growth naturally involves a constant increase of mobile internet accesses with a consequent overload for mobile operators and potentially a reduced performance for mobile users. In this scenario and during last years, the research field of data offloading and Vertical HandOver (VHO) has gained a significant attention by service providers to start offloading mobile data traffic from 3G/4G networks to WiFi networks. The reduction of the load on cellular network is instrumental to allow the user to be Always Best Connected (ABC) with limited costs. In this paper, we present and analyze the performance of a real VHO-enabled ABC mobile application for Android Platform. The application has been tested in a national trial involving several users all over Italy, commercial (Guglielmo Srl) and private WiFi networks and cellular networks of the main Italian mobile operators for more than a month and 150.000 distinct logs collected during the evaluation.},

By extracting relevant kinematic variables, such as the angular amplitude and speed of thighs' motion, we analyze, in a comparative way, the results obtained when a healthy subject and a PD patient perform the LA task. Our investigation relies on the use of wireless inertial systems, whose accuracy is confirmed by direct comparison with optoelectronic systems. Although preliminary, the proposed analysis allows to derive significant insights in possible approaches to accurately evaluate the degree of severity of PD.},

abstract = {The increasing popularity of location based social services such as Facebook Places, Foursquare and Google Latitude, solicits a new trend in fusing social networking with real world sensing. The availability of a wide range of sensing technologies in our everyday environment presents an opportunity to further enrich social networking systems with fine-grained real-world sensing. However, the introduction of passive sensing into a social networking applica- tion disrupts the traditional, user-initiated input to social services, raising both privacy and acceptability concerns. In this work we present an empirical study of the introduction of a sensor-driven social sharing application within the working environment of a research institution. Our study is based on a real deployment of a system that involves location tracking, conversation monitoring, and interaction with physical objects. By utilizing surveys, interviews and experience sampling techniques, we report on our findings regarding privacy and user experience is- sues, and significant factors that can affect acceptability of such services by the users. Our results suggest that such systems deliver significant value in the form of self reflection and comparison with others, while privacy concerns are raised primarily by the limited control over the way individuals are projected to their peers.},

abstract = {Application markets have revolutionized the software download model of mobile phones: third-party application developers offer software on the market that users can effortlessly install on their phones. This great step forward, however, also imposes some threats to user privacy: applications often ask for permissions that reveal private information such as the user's location, contacts and messages. While some mechanisms to prevent leaks of user privacy to applications have been proposed by the research commu- nity, these solutions fail to consider that application markets are primarily driven by advertisements that rely on accurately profiling the user. In this paper we take into account that there are two par- ties with conflicting interests: the user, interested in maintaining their privacy and the developer who would like to maximize their advertisement revenue through user profiling. We have conducted an extensive analysis of more than 250,000 applications in the An- droid market. Our results indicate that the current privacy protection mechanisms are not effective as developers and advert com- panies are not deterred. Therefore, we designed and implemented a market-aware privacy protection framework that aims to achieve an equilibrium between the developer's revenue and the user's privacy. The proposed framework is based on the establishment of a feedback control loop that adjusts the level of privacy protection on mobile phones, in response to advertisement generated revenue.},
